He won&#39;t have any idea of how hard you&#39;ve worked and I think will find it harder to bond with the baby because he&#39;s just been sitting outside passing the time and seeing a baby appear like magic when it&#39;s over, instead of working with you when you need support and becoming closer. I honestly think that men who can&#39;t see their female partner in a positive light after that doesn&#39;t deserve them and doesn&#39;t appreciate what she&#39;s done to get that baby out. That would be my choice for a person in the room.

Not only did he make it easy for us and the medical staff to communicate, I think his presence really calmed my husband.<br /><br />I like to think that my son was born with two important men in his life to welcome him to the world. I hope as he grows up hearing the story, he will think of childbirth as a male experience as much as a female one.velinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-35861131996259836762011-08-23T14:54:18.994-04:002011-08-23T14:54:18.994-04:00I only had my husband in the room.
